Low-loss, high-bandwidth fiber-to-chip coupling using capped adiabatic tapered fibers

We demonstrate adiabatically tapered fibers terminating in sub-micron tips that are clad with a higher-index material for coupling to an on-chip waveguide. This cladding enables coupling to a high-index waveguide without losing light to the buried oxide. A technique to clad the tip of the tapered fi...
